I believe the lenses themselves are glass, but don’t quote me.

I feel that this softens the design slightly. The frame has the bar across the top that is present in all aviator glasses designs, but the bar is slightly curved instead of running straight across. I have a pair of sunglasses with plastic frames that I keep in the car. I find those more sturdy. If you are careless with your sunglasses then this one might end up getting squashed. The gold wire-frame is light and does feel a little fragile. The lenses have a less pronounced tear-drop design so you don’t have as much of a bug-eyed look. And I believe it would be the case for anyone who has a problem with aviator style sunglasses. It is a much more flattering design, on me at least. The online reviews (there aren’t many) say that it’s smaller and somehow, more suited for Asian faces. I should be able to handle aviators!īut one day, I came across a newer, slightly more updated design of the Ray-Ban aviator online which they call the Cockpit Aviator RB3362 and on a bit of a whim, I picked it up. The large tear-drop style of lens just didn’t sit well on my face and trust me, I have a big face. But every pair I’d ever tried (Ray-Ban does the popular ones) looked weird on me. I’d always wanted a pair, preferably with polarised lenses. I need to wear sunglasses when I go out in the day because my eyes are just too sensitive to the light. For me, wearing sunglasses isn’t purely for vanity. I know, blame Top Gun LOL! 😛īut one of my side-effects of undergoing lasik is light sensitivity.

I wanted to wear pretty sunglasses dammit! 😛 Anyone who’s had to fork out lots of money for prescription sunglasses can tell you how that feels (and back in the day, they are never as pretty as those you can buy off the rack) and secretly, I’d always hankered after a pair of aviator sunglasses. When I had my eyes zapped with a laser (read my experience here) it was partly because of convenience, but a part had to do with vanity.
